Official repository for Project Autonomous Chess Bot under Cyborg, NITR
An Autonomous chess playing bot capable of playing chess with users.
The project uses：
-
ROS as framework to the development of the control system
-
Qt4 to facilitate user-system interacion
-
Stockfish chess engine as the intelligence unit of the bot
-
Python chess API for easier communication with the engine and for increasing software robustness
-
OpenCV to facilitate computer vision algorithms to track board movements while user's physical move inputs are taken from an overhead camera
-
Arduino UNO to control an X-Y slider mapping the system output and the physical chess board
-
Serial communication protocol (sopported by Pyserial library) for communicating between Arduino and the system
- Ubuntu 16.04
- ROS Kinetic
- OpenCV 3.2
- Arduino IDE
- QT4
- Python 2.7 libs (Python chess API & Stockfish 8)
- CMake 2.8.3
The Project is completed and the code has been archived.
